Well, no joy.....
I don't even show the SOH logo on the top of the pages, I can see every ones Avtars, but I just get words in place of
The envelopes( worded as sticky thread) and paper clips ( worded as 3 attachments (3) etc, etc.

Oh well..............

This from your XP? Maybe the forum has been updated and its not fully working with XP.

What browser are you using? Does it look the same in all browsers- Chrome, Internet Explorer and FireFox?

Also, if your browser is on auto-update it may be that the latest update hosed up a setting. Perhaps rolling back to the previous version will do the trick? Or re-adjusting a setting of some sort.

Of course being as you are running XP there're probably not any updates available.

No Dice,

Does the box in the left bottom corner say "SOH default (fluid)"? As it could be that you have switched to the "mobile format".

Cheers,

Using Fire Fox on the XP, Explorer on the Win 7 laptop, Explorer does not work on XP any more.
Although it is a Newly rebuilt XP....This just started yesterday....I will try to figure out how to go
back and get rid of any updates.... This XP is the best and fastest ever though:

I'm guessing a forum software update or browser update with XP are not playing nice...

Yes sir, when I checked it out on my Win 7 laptop, I looked at the settings,
Fluid is on.... But thank you for helping out...this is driving me crazy.

Ok...I know this, It is not the Win XP...
When I use the Win Explorer on the XP, the site shows as normal, when I switch back to FireFox
there in lies the problem.... Now I just have to figure out what to do about that ??

Anyway,,, I have Firefox 52.3.0(32bit) is that what you have? Also what about Flash Player. I just did a update this morning to a newer edition. Might want to look at that.

I get the photos in new addons just fine.

Get the emojis just fine here in the reply to post section, still nothing in the regular thread section.

I just got my Windows 7X64 rig up and running, but don't want M$ updating the OS so I don't have it connected to the net.

Let me stick my portable USB adapter in it and log on here and see what it looks like under Windows 7.......

More to follow.

Fine with Chrome and Windows 7.
Fine with IE and Windows 7.

No Dice, have you tried Opera with XP?

Well no and won't, seems I have everything set up thru Firefox, plus
this is the only site I have the problem on....all others are fine and as
strange as can be "My win 8 explorer" works here but on nothing else...

go figure ??

... you have tried other sites this is the only this site that gives you problems? I would think that maybe you want to check your Fire Fox version and see if there are any update for the Fire Fox. Maybe when you loaded it something didn't properly take. Just a suggestion because I know this is being Captain Obvious but it seems that your FF version may be wrong.

Well I reloaded Firefox and it seems to have fixed the problem, BUT at a cost...

All of my book marks were deleted for some reason, so I am having to find the sites and
re save them...what a pain.

....check to make sure that FF has imported them already. They won't show up as before but look for a caption labeled "Internet Explorer". Or try to import them from IE. may save a lot of time \ trouble.
